Alabama’s House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban Glock switches at the state level.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Alabama’s House of Representatives has passed a bill that would ban devices that convert handguns into machine guns.There was some pushback in the House, as some feared it interfered with 2nd Amendment rights. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Phillip Ensler, disagrees, calling the passage a bipartisan effort.
“I’ll be very candid. As a Democrat, as a new Democrat, and dealing with gun legislation, those are all uphill battles in this Legislature. But the fact that we got it done speaks volumes, and I am very grateful to the speaker of the House, to Chairmen Lovvorn in the Rules Committee, to others that really stood up and supported this, and it ultimately was a bipartisan effort,” Ensler said.Glock switches are already banned at the federal level.
